Worcester, MA -- Nicole Maglione (Charlton, MA)
netted a pair of goals just over two minutes apart late in the
first half to propel WPI to a 2-1 victory over visiting Clark in
NEWMAC field hockey action on Saturday evening. The Engineers are
now 10-3 on the season and 2-2 in NEWMAC play while Clark dips to
2-8 overall and 0-3 in conference action.
Clark got on the board first when Lauren Blake

Osgood (Clifton Park, NY) pass just 12:25 into the
contest.
WPI mustered an offensive onslaught in the waning moments of the
first half. Maglione took a feed from Jenelle Pope
(Sterling, MA) on a penalty corner and deposited her seventh goal
of the year at 29:39. Just 2:09 later, Maglione closed out the
scoring on an assist from Kelly Johnson (Buxton,
ME) with 3:12 remaining in the half.
Mary Kate Toomey (Worcester, MA) picked up the win
in goal for WPI to improve to 7-2. Kaitlin Kelley
(Guilford, CT) was stellar in net for the Cougars. She made six
